If your broadband is with Be Unlimited, here's a way to save

Hi
I've been with Be Unlimited (www.bethere.co.uk) for two years. A while ago, O2 bought them out, but since that time, they've kept the Be brand, while at the same time offering the same thing through their O2 brand.
The thing is, it's cheaper through O2, so I called Be last night to ask for a MAC (a number that allows you to migrate from one ISP to another, a bit like a PAC for mobile phone numbers)
They asked why I wanted to leave, and I said I was an O2 customer, so could get their discount, and that I was aware that the actual service was the same. They then immediately offered to reduce my price from £21.50 to £15.00!
Even better, they refunded £5.00 for the month I've just paid for.
That's a saving of just under £80 a year, for nothing more than a phone call.
If you're with Be, would recommend trying this... I think the critical thing to say is that you intend to move to O2, that you know O2 uses the exactly the same systems as Be, and that you qualify as an O2 mobile customer for their discount...
